Linex Forte, capsules 28 pcs

Linex® Forte normalizes intestinal microflora.

The main functions of lactic acid bacteria:

– protective: synthesis of substances with antibacterial activity;

– enzyme-producing: hydrolysis of fiber, proteins, fats, starch, deconjugation of bile acids synthetic: synthesis of vitamins B, C, K, amino acids, organic acids, etc.д.

Lactic acid bacteria LA-5 and BB-12 inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria by:

– lowering the pH in the gut (a result of the ability of LA-5 to synthesize lactic acid and BB-12 to synthesize acetic acid and succinic acid in addition to lactic acid);

– producing metabolites that have toxic effects against pathogenic bacteria (H2O2 formation);

– formation of antimicrobial substances, bacteriocins (LA-5 secretes acidocin, a broad-spectrum bacteriocin that inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi);

– competition with pathogenic bacteria for nutrients;

– interaction with adhesion receptors, thus preventing colonization by other, potentially pathogenic microorganisms.
